The European Get Online Week (GOW) is an annual campaign to engage people to use technology and the Internet with confidence and skills that allow them to benefit from the world of online opportunities. Supported by corporations, NGOs & public authorities, the campaign is organized each year in March by Telecentre Europe (TE), an umbrella organisation that represents digital leaders in 32 European countries.

In 2017, Get Online Week challenges Europeans to learn, participate, share and create through thousands of events and activities tackling the digital transformation and its effects. People and skills, not technology, are the most important pieces in the digital transformation puzzle. The digital divide produces anxiety, uncertainty and insecurity regarding the future. Rather than resisting the digital transformation, people and organizations must prepare immediately and strategically for a skillset that will perpetually change and evolve.

The campaign highlighted the benefits of digital transformation, but also the importance of partnership in helping people and organisations to develop skills and a mindset to adapt to and take advantage of the constant changes.

The campaign activities, trainings, and events will address the following themes:

Since 2010, at least 60 organizations have been involved as national partners in 34 European countries. These organizations included over 15,000 organisations, reaching out to over 900,000 Europeans. GOW 2016 report here.
